We're featuring the brand new Art Play Paintables which include themes for Halloween, Christmas, Adventure, Critters, Faith and more; 18 brand new pages to color with multiple images on each sheet. They're perfect for watercoloring, markers, colored pencils and more. Use them in multiple ways - cardmaking, scrapbooking, treat boxes, tags..... you're only limited by your imagination!

Here is your word......EVERY

My first creation was done with the mushrooms by Carolee McMullin from the Today is the Best Art Paintable sheet. I watercolored the mushrooms and cut them out...everything on here is popped up except the frog. The turtle, sentiment and frog are one stamp from Inkadinkadoo that I cut out. The flower was done with wire, hot glue and nail polish and glitter glue....I made it for last weeks' mix challenge by our very own MariLynn on SCS.

This is a 5 x 7 canvas I made using I am Loved by Stephanie Ackerman. I used odds and ends papers from my scrap pile. The embellishments were also in the scrap pile. I watercolored and added some pearls to the flowers. A flourish and texture paste was used on the canvas as well as acrylic paint.

This image was taken from Wicked by Lindsay Ostrom. I used pearlescent watercolors for this image, twine and some Graphic 45 paper. The image is up on dimensionals

Another fall card using Lindsay Ostrom's design from Eek. I watercolored this image, layered on some deep orange paper, used some old SU! dp, made it into a tag and added some ribbon, twine and a brad...we'll call it good.

Above and the two below are lovely art play paintables from the Holly Jolly and Joy sheets by Lindsay Ostrom. Love these. Perfect for individualized tags for all my Christmas gifts. Combination of pearlescent watercolors and regular watercolors used on them.

These darling images will go onto some Halloween treat bags for my favorite neighborhood kiddos. Both are designed by Lindsay Ostrom and the first is from Wicked. The second from Eek. Both done using pearlescent watercolors.

My diaper fold treat bag will be filled with my favorite....candy corn. Such a weird and wonderful candy. I've decided it reminds me of compressed frosting (which I love). This image is from If the Shoe Fits by Michelle Hamilton. I used pearlescent watercolors on it, too. I used ribbon which I heated up to shrivel for some ghoulishness!

Below are two bookmarks I made form the awesome paintable Faith made by Stephanie Ackerman. Some scrap dp and ribbon. These will make wonderful gifts!

The last 5 photos are all 2 3/4" x 4" custom cards/envies I made and will all be given as one gift set. I am so excited that I learned how to make my own envelopes! I grouped the according to paintable and designer. All were either watercolored or pearlescent watercolored!
